After being dropped from the automaker’s United States EV plans, the Mercedes-Benz EQC electric crossover SUV could make it here after all, in second-generation form.<\/p>\n

Mercedes told U.S. dealers that a redesigned EQC, as well as an electric C-Class, will arrive around 2025, Automotive News<\/em><\/a> (subscription required) reported Saturday.<\/p>\n

In a first drive of the EQC<\/a>, which was originally due in summer 2019, we found it to be a luxurious EV that mostly hit the mark, except for a barely adequate range of around 200 miles and some charging issues that needed smoothing-over.<\/p>\n

By late 2019, the EQC had been delayed<\/a> all the way to 2021. And then in 2021, Mercedes confirmed it wasn\u2019t coming at all<\/a>, with a new order for the U.S.<\/a> including the EQS flagship, the EQE sedan, and two electric SUVs, led by an EQS SUV. Both SUVs will be built in Alabama.<\/p>\n

While the current EQC uses a platform derived from the GLC-Class SUV, Automotive News<\/em> reports that this second attempt at a U.S.-market EQC will use a new platform dubbed Mercedes Modular Architecture (MMA). The redesigned model may also adopt EQC SUV branding in keeping with Mercedes’ new EV nomenclature. The electric C-Class is expected to use the MMA platform as well.<\/p>\n

As Automotive News<\/em> points out, dealerships are no doubt disappointed that there\u2019s no EV in the same category as the top-selling EQC. And until then, the smaller EQB<\/a> might have to be the best substitute. The EQB is an electric conversion of the GLB-Class SUV, and is scheduled to reach U.S. showrooms next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
